A Freeport nonprofit that donates books to students who otherwise wouldn’t have access to reading materials has handed out its 4 millionth book, marking a milestone in its mission to improve literacy one book at a time.
Briahana Romero, a fourth grader at Connolly Elementary School in Glen Cove, received the book at a book fair on June 6. She picked a Nancy E. Krulik book, which contained a hidden golden ticket announcing she was the recipient of the nonprofit’s 4 millionth book.
